Global process solutions company, Praj Industries, India, has commenced its first integrated second generation technology (2G) smart bio-refinery to produce ethanol from agri-waste. The 2G demo plant produces ethanol by processing a variety of agri-residue like rice and wheat straw, cotton stalk, bagasse, cane trash, corn cobs and stover, into ethanol, with superior product yields.
“With continual research and development, further pipeline of other renewable fuels and chemicals is underway to be produced from this technology platform. This innovative technology has substantial potential to enhance energy security and help India become energy self-reliant. The commercialisation of the 2G ethanol technology will give an impetus to rural economy and create additional employment opportunities,” said Pramod Chaudhari, at Praj Industries.
